Evelyn & I are just about to walk to her swimming lesson & I realised that despite writing about a lot of local places I've not blogged about the walk that we do every day that's right on our doorstep.

Back in August I wrote about visiting Wesonbirt Arboretum for their Treefest & we went for another stroll there a few weeks ago on George's day off. The sculptures that I wrote about were finished & on display so I wanted to share those pictures as well as a few other snap shots with you all.

This month has been so lovely, I've been surrounded by friends & family, & we had great fun celebrating my beautiful mum turning 50. I also met with my really talented photographer friend Emilie to take a few snap shots of Evelyn (including this one): I'm going to write more about that in another post next month but I had to include her angel shot as a little sneak-peak today. It is just the perfect representation of Evelyn at 8 months & I especially love that her little toes are on show because there's just something so scrummy about baby feet.

Halloween was over really quickly this year, we didn't even carve a pumpkin which is so unlike us. I think it's because Evelyn is too young to get involved with normal activities so we didn't really bother too much. I did want her to celebrate somehow though so we grabbed some costumes & took a few snap shots.
